"Ease On Down The Road" with us as this Tony Award winning Best Musical of 1975 storms onto our stage for the third time in NWT'S history. Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman and the Lion travel a fantastical, futuristic road trip and learn some things along the way about rising above one's background and the expectations of others.

As TIME magazine said, The Wiz is  ".saucy with black urban humor, its talk is jumping jivernacular, its walk is a big city strut, its dances have a blowtorch frenzy, and its songs range from a warm gospel glow to the rock beat of a riveter mining asphalt." 

"The Wiz is a multicultural collage in which Baum's themes speak to the broadest possible audience.  Unquestionably, the humor and the heartbeat of the piece remains African-American at their source, but the overall effect is pluralistic and inclusive." - VARIETY

"Radiates so much energy you can hardly sit in your seat . . . great fun."-- N.Y. Post.

Book by William F. Brown         Music and lyrics by Charles Smalls
Based on the story: “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” by Frank Baum
